Vehicle Description
Back in 1983 two old friends and travelling buddies met and found a
common bond with a love of Land Rover Defenders while travelling
through Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Australia. They worked in
Zambia in the 80's at numerous safari camps and wildlife reserves.
Accessing some of Africa's remotest areas it was here that they
found out how capable and tough these trucks were. While working in
the Middle East, they followed the pursuit of 4�4 backcountry
adventures. They even spent some time in the Northern Territory of
Australia, exclusively using Defenders to access the Outback.
Maintaining some of the most hardest to get to tracks and dirt
roads, the conditions were brutal and these trucks brushed off
everything that was thrown at them with ease. The 2 friends joined
forces to create the Transatlantic Trading Company (TATC) to share
their passion and to build the best Land Rover Defenders possible
in the US. TATC draws upon their combined experience, coupled with
over 70 years of Land Rover heritage. The TATC team lovingly
restores some of the very best iconic Defenders available. The
mission at TATC is to build these trucks better than they were when
they first left the factory, and most importantly to last the next
25 years and to pass on to the next generation.
Our 1993 Land Rover Defender was fully restored, down to the
chassis. Our left-hand drive Land Rover Defender 110 underwent a
full restoration by UK based TATC, which was completed in late
2020. The exterior is finished in Corris Grey. There are less than
2,500 miles on the fully rebuilt and reconditioned Turner
engineering 200 TDI, Ashcroft transmission and transfer box. This
Defender received major upgrades, both mechanical and esthetic. Our
TATC Defender comes equipped with Front Runner Slimline II Half
Rack, a Front Bumper A-Bar, ARB V2 Intensity LED SpotLights, new
updated performance clutch, and the desirable Xmore upgraded
leather seats! In addition to those upgrades our Defender 110 also
has the updated Hybrid Turbo Technics bespoke performance
turbocharger.
